My experience in English 1200 this semester, weighs at about the same as my experience last semester. This semester I enjoyed reading the T.C. Boyle stories, I enjoyed not having exams, and I feel that I've grown as a writer. However, I would not take another 8am english course that is three days a week, that was just too hard for me to do most mornings. In English 1200, I think I did well on just about everything but my papers. I averaged about a C or a C- on those which really bothers me. I am hoping that when I resubmit my first paper, I can score a B+ or better on it, and when I submit my third paper, I am hoping to get an A. This will bring my grade up to a B at least hopefully. The most beneficial thing that I have learned from English this semester is how to write a better paper. Ive always considered myself a terrible writer. I am bad at organization, and I do not know how to put thoughts and ideas together well enough to create an A paper. Instead most of my thoughts are scattered in chunks around the pages and I cannot properly emulate my ideas. The only type of papers that I am really good at are papers that require a lot of detail. I am a very detail oriented person and description is the field that I do best in. As a teacher, you critiqued my papers and highlighted what my problems were with them. But beyond that, you also gave me the opportunity to come in and discuss how to fix it. This was beneficial to me, because instead of just knowing that I had a problem, you gave me a way to rectify it. Another benefit (although not directly related to English) was developing the self discipline it took to wake up at 7 every morning. Looking back, I am proud of myself for doing it. But I am probably not going to take another 8 am course while I am in college. Something least beneficial I would say was the T.C. Boyle stories. Although I enjoyed reading them, I don't think that I am ever going to use T.C. Boyle's stories in real life. They did force me to try to understand what he was saying at some points though. And that may help me understand other authors as I continue to read through out life. My experience from this semester and last semester remained about the same, the only difference being the chance to correct my first paper. I enjoyed having you as a professor.
